Highlights

Medtronic partnering with NHS to advance evidence on Artificial Intelligence in colonoscopy

We are immensely proud to have won the NHS AI award. It will allow us to work in partnership with King’s College Hospital (KCH) and the NHS to assess GI Genius™ intelligent endoscopy module in real-world conditions, in busy GI departments across the UK. Bowel cancer kills more people in the UK than almost any other cancer and this trial will further our mission to detect early and improve patient outcomes.

Darin Wilson on ESGE Medtronic AI Research Award (AI in GI)

We are proud to announce, in partnership with the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, the first Artificial Intelligence Research Award valued at €1.5 million, to help the detection of colorectal cancer.

The ESGE Medtronic Research Award supports Artificial Intelligence (AI) research in the field of colonoscopy.

How does Medtronic’s gastrointestinal products fit into the patient pathway?

The Detect, Resect, Protect (DRP) concept follows the patient pathways from detection with the artificial intelligence system GI Genius™, to resection with the ProdiGI™ ESD product portfolio and to bleeding prevention with Nexpowder™*, a new endoscopic, topical powder.
